The paint surface is intentionally pitted and uneven. There are some minor spots of craquelure in the thicker areas of paint. Dirt has gathered in areas across the surface but it is otherwise in good overall condition.
Examination under ultra-violet light reveals scattered areas of fluorescence, all of which appear to be the reworking of the artist.
